Why is a cancer risk evaluation useful?

General screening for certain cancers is available to the general public in British Columbia. There are province-wide screening programs for breast cancer (Screening Mammography Program) and cervix cancer (Papanicolaou or Pap testing).

Other cancers such as skin cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer have guidelines to help doctors and patients. These province-wide initiatives are covered by the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) based on their cost-effectiveness, ie; how much money it takes to pick up how many cancers and save how many lives. Unfortunately this doesn’t help an individual decide how far to go in cancer testing and prevention. Other cancer killers, such as ovarian, lung and pancreas cancer, have no decent, validated screening tests.

Many people can benefit from an individual assessment to look at their own particular risk of the top cancer killers. Everyone attending Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic for a Cancer Risk Evaluation has the chance to evaluate their own specific risk. Then they can decide which extra tests to perform, which investigations to pursue and most importantly, which behavior to modify. Five prevention steps can cut cancer risk in half, according to the BC Cancer Agency.
